Michelle’s back, and she’s madder than ever. She was already pretty angry, seemingly unhappy with just about everything. As her husband wrapped up the Democratic nomination in 2008, she let fly her real feelings: “For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country.” A few months into her job as first lady, her French counterpart asked how she liked the gig: “Don’t ask!” she reportedly spat. “It’s hell. I can’t stand it!”
She even seems to be mad at her silver-tongued husband. When the two were to set off on a luxurious 10-day vacation to Martha’s Vineyard, she left early - four hours early - and flew up alone. And those private vacations. She’s traveled to some of the world’s most plush resorts, taking 42 days off in the past year - that’d be eight weeks of vacay time if she held down a normal job.
Now, she is ready to spew her bilious disgust with America on the campaign trail. A dignified, transcendent first lady? No chance. Michelle is going to break with a hundred years of tradition and play the role of attack dog, heaping derision on her husband’s political opponents like no other first lady before her.
And it’s already begun. Mad Michelle this week popped down to Davis Island, Fla., to hobnob with the very people her husband despises - the 1 percent. At a massive mansion on the bay, filled with the wealthiest of the wealthy, America’s first lady launched into a tirade about “them” - the Republicans.
“Let’s not forget about what it meant when my husband appointed two brilliant Supreme Court justices, and for the first time in history, our daughters - and our sons - watched three women take their seats on our nation’s highest court....

Wow. Out of the mouths of babes....
Shae’s a gobbeling galoot to boot.
Unlike President Ronald Reagan, who saw morning in America - that great shining city on a hill - Michelle will tell all who will listen that Republicans want to poison the air and water, stifle free speech, oppress the religious. She will offer not an uplifting vision of what her husband’s America could be but only a vapid view of what Republicans’ America would be.
That is the America she lives in, and by campaign’s end, it will be clear that she’s no longer “proud of my country.” Maybe she never really was.
that is a funny story.
Kids always can sniff out a phony!!!
“Michelle will tell all who will listen that Republicans want to poison the air and water, stifle free speech, oppress the religious...”
With the support of the Progressive press, that line will be repeated endlessly and the hardcore fourty per-cent will eat it up. Then, the brilliant, really-really smart, absolutely intelligent (they keep telling us),
all-wise Independents will keep their leftward tilt and very well might march to Progressive victory with all those psychotic Progressives.
IMHO
Care to document that she was admitted based on her brother?
Unless you mean “her brother did OK for a black student - so we figured she might not embarress us too much either”.
Hint - Don’t start with unsupported assumed “legacy” powers.
On exactly what is your statement based?
The First Cow is always angry.
Know what would (maybe) make her happy? A multi-million dollar vacation!
I’ve heard from folks “inside the culture” that they noticed a vast difference in the topics of conversation between them and the mainstream, traditional culture.
Those inside the culture tend to focus their topic of conversation on what “the other folks” are doing, almost exclusively,
whereas those of the traditional culture tend to have vastly varied topics of discussion.
Early on, the One Party Press Media was cooing over the new 1st Lady’s looks, I took one good look at some pics to read her personality....and shuddered!
I was thinking the same thing!
Isn't it customary in the muslim culture to eat with bare hands? I notice that in all the pictures posted she seems to be eating with her right hand, which is proper.
There were 26 years and a few months between Michelle Obama’s 18th birthday and when her hubby was nominated.
Think of all the things which happened during that 26 years that any American could be proud of.
Think of all the things which happened during that 26 years that any liberal could be proud of.
And she wasn’t proud of any of them. Just to grab one example out of the air, this is a woman who can’t remember being proud of America saving tens of thousands of lives after the Boxing Day Tsunami in ‘04. She’s a nut.
One thiing I will say about this president, he seems to go out of his way to be kind to children he meets. I’ve heard other ropeline stories like yours and seen video of him interacting with kids in what seems to be a genuine and kind way. It may be an act, but at least he bothers, while his wife just acts like an entitled princess everywhere she goes.
Dang straight!
The whole Muslims in the White House thing is getting pretty silly. Unless Moochelle is left-handed, seeing her eat with her right hand is about as remarkable asnoticing that the sky is blue.
He should open up a daycare and retire from presidentin’
“Make no mistake about it, whether it’s health care or the economy, whether it’s education or foreign policy, the choice we make in this election will determine nothing less than who we are as a country — but more importantly, who we want to be,” she told about 200 guests at the Davis Islands waterfront home of developer *Joel Cantor.
“Who do we want to be? Will we be a country that tells folks who have done everything right but are struggling to get by, ‘tough luck, you’re on your own’? Is that who we are?”
No, the audience, many fanning themselves in the 82-degree heat, responded enthusiastically.
“I’m not going to kid you,” she told the guests, who paid as much as $35,800 for the appearance. “This journey is going to be long and it will be hard.”
*Joel Cantor
Mr. Cantor attended the University of Massachusetts majoring in finance and Mandarin Chinese for his undergraduate degree. Mr. Cantor also attended the University of Copenhagen as an American Scholar for a year abroad studying East/West trade relations.
After earning his undergraduate degree Mr. Cantor obtained a position on Wall Street at Chase Manhattan Bank by handing out 10,000 resumes on the street one day instead of simply mailing resumes. He was hired to handle overnight loans between money center banks and was promoted within five months to oversee a staff of thirty mostly middle-aged employees while he was just 21 years old. Mr. Cantor was then hired by the venerable Wall Street firm Salomon Brothers in their real estate finance investment banking group. He studied under the tutelage of Lewis Ranieri who is credited as the inventor of the collateralized mortgage bond. Mr. Cantor travelled across the U.S. buying packages of loans and structuring them into traunches of mortgage backed securities. Salomon Brothers hired a private tutor to teach Mr. Cantor the Japanese language as he was slated to be sent to their burgeoning Asian offices. However, Mr. Cantor chose to go back to school and get his MBA at Wharton with intentions to go back to Salomon Brothers and be included in their executive ranks. At Wharton, Mr. Cantor was recruited by the legendary Trammell Crow Company to come to Tampa and build the $85M Florida Aquarium. In 1989 within six months of arriving in Tampa, Mr. Cantor raised his first fund with $2M from his Wall Street contacts and purchased a dozen apartment complexes from the Resolution Trust Company (RTC) which was overseeing the disposition of real estate assets from failed banks.

When one of his early multifamily rental projects was fully occupied, his cash flow was about $75,000 a month.
